From 12:01 am ET on July 5, travel restrictions will be eased for eligible and fully vaccinated travelers.
Travelers may qualify for certain exemptions to quarantine and testing requirements if they are:
- eligible to enter Canada
- asymptomatic
- meet the Government of Canada requirements of fully vaccinated travelers
- meet all other entry requirements, including entering their information in ArriveCAN before arrival
Those who meet the requirements may be exempt from:
- quarantine
- hotel stopover (for air travelers)
- day-8 testing requirement
Travel restrictions on who can enter Canada remain in place. Foreign nationals (including U.S. citizens) coming to Canada for non-essential reasons will be turned away at the border.
Requirements for the Fully Vaccinated Exemption
-
- Pre-entry testing for travelers
- Vaccinated travelers should still have a quarantine plan where they can stay for at least 14 days. This is required even if for those travelers seeking the fully vaccinated exemption.
- Register in advance for your test to save time at the border.
